Alegria by PG Lite has always made forward progress in helping those in the professional industry stay up on their feet all day long. We want to continue executing this mission in a different way - by helping a future nurse get their feet off the ground towards pursuing a degree in nursing.

The path to becoming a nursie in not an easy one, but we don't want undergraduates to forget that after being empowered with the right knowledge to do an amazing job caring for others - the ultimate reward is the experience of happiness.

We have been fortunate enough to have a large community of nurses support our mission and our causes and would love to give back by helping a current nursing student with a $2,500 scholarship. The applicant would need to fill out an online application and submit an essay answering, "Why would becoming a nurse make you happy?" They can submit their application on our website:
